Brighton Spots v Stripes
Groundwork has joined with Cadbury to help bring their Spots v Stripes campaign to communities across the UK. To create the largest and longest running game ever, Cadbury is inviting the nation to divide into two teams, Spots v Stripes and play all sorts of games in the run up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012.
Between now and summer of 2012 Groundwork will be recruiting 2000 volunteer Games Ambassadors to help support Spots v Stripes games and activities all year round.
Groundwork and Cadbury are also working together alongside local communities in Birmingham, Sheffield, Chirk, Marlbrook, Dublin, Uxbridge, Reading, Crediton, and Hackney to help improve community spaces near to their sites for playing games.
